THE LODGE AUCTION HOUSE ESTATE SALE SERVICES

How It Works

Estate sales are on-premises sales of household items; it is the most efficient and financially rewarding way to dispose of personal property.

The Lodge acts as agent in the sale of personal property in a manner similar to a real estate company's representation of the owner in the sale of a home. Once the family has decided what to keep and has removed those items, then the home is prepared in such a way as to turn it into a small store or boutique. Every item is displayed and priced, from precious antiques to everyday household items.

What Sells?

Anything that has ever been acquired at any time or any place may well sell in an estate sale. The Lodge sells property without regard to whether it was bought by your family a hundred years ago or yesterday at the local drug store.

Cars, antiques, furniture, lamps, wall art, silver, china, furs, figures, rugs, toys, books, records, stationery, playing cards, appliances, utensils, pots and pans, glassware, bath and table linens, clothing accessories, purses, gloves, hats, scarves, precious and costume jewelry, workbenches, power and garden tools are only examples of what can and will be sold for the owner. If we feel that some unique items deserve an antique auction market, we will advise you of that. The items unsold remain the property of the owner, who decides what is done with them in the end. The Lodge sells about 90% of all items in the home. Items that do not sell are removed upon request.
